Eggplant:
Not true, one other person saw Snape kill Dumbledore, the Narrator;
and in 6 books the Narrator has never EVER been wrong. The Narrator
never saw Sirius Black kill anyone, he just saw people say they saw
him do it. And the Narrator never said he saw Barty Crouch Jr die in
Azkaban, he just heard people claim they had seen it. But things are
quite different in the Snape Dumbledore murder, the Narrator saw it,
he saw all of it and saw it first hand, he was not shy about telling
we readers all about it either.

The Narrator never saw James and Lilly's murder, the closest is Harry
foggy memory of it, we don't have all the gory details like in
Dumbledore's murder. And as for Voldemort's confession, well, we know
a House Elf and Voldemort's uncle also confessed to murders but in
reality they killed nobody.

Please understand, I am not saying for one instant that Voldemort did
not kill James and Lilly, the evidence is very strong enormously
strong, that he did, but the evidence is even stronger that Snape
murdered Dumbledore.

While you have not convinced me one jot with your Narrator explanation...who exactly do you think the Narrator is?...I will herewith agree to disagree, Eggplant.  IMO, the Narrator has told us everything.  Every single blessed thing, right or wrong.  We have been led, by the Narrator, down the garden path on numerous occasions.  The Narrator let us believe that Scabbers was just a rat for three years that he lived in Ron's pocket.  We were led to believe that Buckbeak had been executed when he had not.  I could continue in this vein for pages, with all the things the Narrator has led us to believe that turned out to be quite different in the end.  IMO, this Avada Kadavra of Snape's, which is so, to me, blantantly obviously different than the others the Narrator also showed us, is just another device the Narrator is using to lead us down the garden path.  To lead us to believe Snape is truly evil.  The fact that the AK shows so differently is one of the strongest pieces of evidence, IMO, that it was not the AK that killed DD and that Snape is not a murderer.  

I know there are differences between the UK and US editions of the books, but I get the impression you and I are not reading the same story at all.  And this being my third post for today...I'm off to the oven again....
